Greetings from Sweden...

[dimmu--borgir]

So, I have finally registered on this fantastic site. I really don't remember how I came in contact with it but it was probably byaoc.com some years ago.

I must say that some of you guys have fantastic collections and I'm really jealous about it. I read all your roadtrips Bruno, and again, I want it all tooooo.

I have just bought a house and in the future, (I'm in University studying to be a nurse at the moment with no cash) and I will shortly after that start to fill my house with cabinets. It's 148 square meters but averything seems occupied at the moment. I only have a small game-room at the moment but my wife said that if I want to fulfill my dream I could use a room which was intended to be movie-room only for the purpose. The room will at least take 10 cabs.

Anyway, my first cab (I will only collect dedicated) will be this great looking Space Invaders II cab. Coming the 26 Juni.

Damn what I wanted the Boba Fett helmet sitting on top of the cab but alas... 

I did also buy this one yesterday. you have one of these Bruno right? I guess it's some sort of walkthrough disk or something?

Hi 'dimmu--borgir' (what does it means?)and welcome here, even if you read this boards since a while 

Many thanks for your kind words 

...and I will shortly after that start to fill my house with cabinets. It's 148 square meters but averything seems occupied at the moment.

148 square meters ? More than enough for a lot of cabs  Funny, few years ago there was a room in my house which was intended to be movie-room too... but it's now my main 'workshop' room 
One advice, if your wife tell you that you're crazy, show her the Galaxian roadtrip and you'll see.. she'll agree 'normal size' cabinets 

Opsss, it seems that your links require some kind of registration or something ? 

Maybe you can send me the pictures by mail and I'll host them on this website 

Don't hesitate to share all your "arcadelifestyle" stories here

Hi 'dimmu--borgir' (what does it means?)

Dimmu Borgir is my favourite band. Norwegian Black Metal. The original Dimmu Borgir (which they named themself after) is a lava formation on Iceland which look like a portal/castle. Translated from Icelandic to English would probably be Castle of Darkness or something.

Opsss, it seems that your links require some kind of registration or something ?

Ohh, please correct. Pixx already sent...

Wow... A Taito SI part II, very beautiful     Congratulation   



Please provide us more picture when you'll catch it  Do you will 'roadtrip' for this one 

By the way, what is the game on the left ?

Starblade LD...Yeps, I got this one too   



...just here, in the Lair v1 



It shows an entire play to the end of games, and the characters data + credit. A great item 
Starblade is one of the greatest games ever made by Namco. A real *must have* for any die-hard fan of Namco shooters

Thanks! My plan is to start with Arcades that have "ZEN". Pong, Pacman, Space Invaders, Missile Command, Asteroids, Defender etc. How in the name of *** will I find a Pong in Sweden??

Do you will 'roadtrip' for this one

   

No, a friend of mine will come with it in the middle of the night June 26.

By the way, what is the game on the left ?

He will also have the other arcades (not on the picture) with him. Tempest (no sideart unfortunatley) and Space Duel which is the one you see little of on the picture. If Tempest was dedicated I would have bought that one as well.
